While a Neopets fansite, that's but one section of the forum as a whole. Other parts include The Editor's Mark, for discussion of writing in general; Artist's Alley [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|for artistry]]; General for off-topic, talk of [[Real Life]], all that; [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Games and Interactive]], having the Discussions and Debates boards and the forever insane 'bloids. The members are much of a [[True Companions|big, happy family]], with plenty of [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Crowning Moments of Heartwarming]], [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]] and [[Crowning Moment of Funny|funny]]. [[NaNoWriMo]] is a huge event here, leaving the other areas dead the whole month of November.

Another noteworthy event of the forums are the Guild Wars [[Play By Post Games|play-by-post roleplays]] ([[Guild Wars|no, not that one]]), where members create their own characters (often based on their real life selves) and collectively write a Troperiffic fantasy story based around seven guilds: [[Pirate|Pirates]], [[Ninja|Ninjas]], [[Magic Knight|Mages]], [[Knight Errant|Knights]], [[Hired Guns|Mercenaries]], [[Space Police|Spacefleet]], and [[Steampunk]].

There's also a subpage for the [[NTWF/Mafia Roleplay|NTWF Mafia roleplay]], in which members were assigned different roles (under the category of Mafia or townspeople) and created characters within the roleplay.
